Ingredients
  

  • 1 package seaweed wraps 20 sheets
  • SkinnyFat MCT Oil for frying
  • FILLING:
  • 1 lb organic ground pork
  • 2 cups shredded diced cabbage
  • 3 TBS Coconut Aminos
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • ½ tsp Five Spice
  • ½ tsp Redmond Real salt
  • SWEET n SOUR SAUCE
  • 1/2 cup Natural Sweetener
  • 1/2 cup coconut vinegar
  • 2 TBS coconut aminos
  • 1 TBS tomato paste
  • 1 clove roasted garlic not raw
  • 1 tsp grated ginger

Instructions
 

  • Preheat fryer or oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F.
  • Brown ground pork with shredded cabbage in a large skillet with coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, 5-spice and salt.
  • Cook until meat is cooked through and cabbage is tender.
  • Remove filling from heat.
  • Lay one seaweed wrapper on sushi mat (or parchment paper) and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling into the center.
  • As you start rolling the wrapper, tuck the corners into the ends so that the egg roll is closed from all angles. NOTE: if the seaweed rips, it is ok. It will seal when you fry it.
  • Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
  • Working in batches fry the egg rolls by placing the tightly wrapped roll into the hot oil for about 2 minutes or until crisp on the outside. Remove from oil and serve. NOTE: they will lose crispiness if they sit too long.
  • SWEET n SOUR SAUCE: Heat the ingredients in a small saucepan until simmering. Whisk until smooth. If you want a thicker sauce, add 1/4 tsp guar gum.
  • OIL TIP: Once cool, strain the oil and store in mason jars in the fridge for future use.
